Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre presents Scott and Hem, a Florida premiere of a combative new play about the friendship and rivalry between literary heavyweights F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, from May 14 - June 8, 2014. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway wrestle with the sparks of art and the perils of creativity - and the personal destruction they can reap - in this smart and powerful new drama by Mark St. Germain set amidst Hollywood's glittery backdrop. In 1937, the two reunite for a final night at the notorious Los Angeles resort villa, the Garden of Allah. A humorous and heated exchange ensues about the cost of love, friendship and the professional price of being a writer. Director David Arisco has assembled an all-star cast to bring this historical dramatic fiction to life. Carbonell Award-Winning Actors Tom Wahl (I Am My Own Wife, The Mystery of Irma Vep, Murderer, Picasso at the Lapine Agile) and Gregg Weiner (Making God Laugh, August: Osage County, Red) will star as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, respectively. Orlando-based Actress and Actors' Playhouse Newcomer Jennifer Christa Palmer (Private Lives, Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream) plays Miss Eve Montaigne, a studio assistant assigned to keep Fitzgerald on schedule for his latest screenplay and off the sauce.Photo Credit: Alberto Romeu
